    Entre 2015 y 2022 se han introducido en 脕lava-Araba (Kanpezu y Rioja alavesa) mediante hacking un total de 36 pollos volantones de 脕guila de Bonelli marcados con GPS (Aquila fasciata)procedentes de cr铆a en cautividad y de extracciones de la poblaci贸n natural de Andaluc铆a. Los individuos reintroducidos se dispersaron preferentemente hacia el valle del Ebro (La Rioja, Navarra y Arag贸n), otros siguiendo el r铆o Duero hacia Castilla-Le贸n, Extremadura, Portugal y Andaluc铆a, y algunos cruzando la Meseta norte hasta la cuenca del r铆o Tajo (Toledo). La distancia media de dispersi贸n juvenil fue de 286 Km (0-773 km). El proceso de dispersi贸n no fue lineal sino itinerante realizando sucesivas sedimentaciones temporales en zonas ricas en alimento y sin poblaci贸n reproductora. Las altas tasas de mortalidad fueron similares a las observadas para la poblaci贸n silvestre, con una tasa de supervivencia del 64.7 % durante el primer a帽o, 87.5 % en el segundo y 90.0 % a partir del tercer a帽o de vida. La electrocuci贸n en tendidos el茅ctricos de distribuci贸n fue la principal causa de mortalidad (27.3 %), seguida de la predaci贸n y competencia con el 脕guila real (27.3 %) y de la colisi贸n (13.6 %). A pesar de proceder de cr铆a en cautividad las 谩guilas mostraron una fuerte filopatr铆a hacia las zonas de liberaci贸n, regresando todas ellas en el 2潞 y 3era帽o, preferentemente en los meses de febrero-marzo de cada temporada. Gracias al reforzamiento poblacional se han formado tres nuevos territorios en el Alto valle del Ebro. ABSTRACT: Between 2015 and 2022, a total of 36 fledglings of Bonelli鈥檚 Eagle (Aquila fasciata)bred in captivity (n=28) and extractions from the Andalusian population (n=8), were released by hacking in 脕lava-Araba (Kanpezu and Rioja Alavesa). All of them were radio-tracked by GPS so that the dispersal patterns, mortality rates and the place and causes of deaths are known. The GPS signal of five of these fledglings was lost (n=4) or the transmitter was lost (n=1) and their current destination is unknown. These juvenile birds dispersed preferentially towards the Ebro valley (La Rioja, Navarra and Arag贸n), others following the Duero river towards Castilla-Le贸n, Extremadura, Portugal and Andalusia, and some crossed the Northern Meseta to the Tajo basin (Toledo). The distance of juvenile dispersal ranged from 0 to 773 km from the release site, with an average of 286 km (n=23). The dispersal process was not linear but rather itinerant, successive temporary settlements occuring in areas rich in food and without a breeding population. The high mortality rates found among the released juveniles were similar to those observed for the wild population, with a survival rate of 64.7 % during the first year, 87.5 % in the second and 90.0 % from the third year of life. We know the cause of death or recovery of 19 birds (n= 22 events). Electrocution in distribution power lines was the main cause of mortality (27.3%), followed by predation and competition with the Golden Eagle (27.3%) and collision (13.6%). Despite being bred in captivity, the eagles showed a strong philopatric tendency towards the release zones, all of them returning in the 2nd and 3rd year, mainly in the months of February-March of each season. Through population reinforcement, three new territories have been formed in the Upper Ebro Valley: one in Kanpezu, which already obtained a juvenile in 2021, another in the Ribera de Navarra, still without breeding, and another in Rioja Alavesa occupied at this time by a single female
